The shocking hypocrisy of the NCAA admitting its own ethical flaps while investigating those of the University of Miami was tailor made for Twitter snark, and the Twitterati didn't disappoint. Though, it shouldn't be much a surprise that no one likes the NCAA.

As evidences by this BuzzFeed listicle the racist folks of American Twitter were none too pleased that President Barack Obama won reelection on Tuesday, and a new analysis by Floating Sheep found that most of the racist Tweets were coming out of -- surprise! -- the South.

So, as we informed you this morning, it's totally illegal in Florida to take a picture of your marked ballot. Well, the Connie Mack campaign only reads Riptide when we write something about Connie Mack (usually followed up by a terse e-mail).

In what could have been a stupid idea but actually turned out pretty illuminating (especially from Florida's point of view), Floating Sheep mapped each county in the United States by how often its residents tweet about beer compared with how often they tweet about church. Miami-Dade, unsurprisingly, came in strongly on the beer side of the spectrum. The majority of Florida (including Broward and Palm Beach), meanwhile, likes to tweet about church much more.

The Dolphins' Chad Ochocino may be a bit of an oddball, but you can't say his heart isn't in the right place.
